This compact studio sits on Ladbroke Grove in the heart of Notting Hill, offering a bright, double-aspect room and high ceilings that give an airy feel uncommon in small central flats. The open-plan layout includes a mezzanine level for sleeping or storage and benefits from natural light from west-facing windows.
The flat requires refurbishment: walls show damp/discolouration and the kitchen is compact and dated. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, which will affect running costs and comfort until upgraded. The lease has 81 years remaining and should be extended promptly to protect value and mortgageability.
Annual service charge is £2,964 and council tax band B is relatively low. The location is a major selling point — moments from Portobello Road, local shops, buses and Ladbroke Grove Underground, making it suitable as a pied-à-terre, central first home, or buy-to-let with refurbishment potential.
Buyers should factor in refurbishment and lease-extension costs when considering this purchase. For those able to invest in upgrades, the property offers strong location-led upside in a desirable W11 neighbourhood.
